Question

My 11 month old refuses to eat. Don't know why.

He was sick starting 5 days ago but the last 2 days he's seemed fine. He ate normally while he was sick. Right now he seems more tired and more on edge of upset. I wasn't sure if it was growth spurt but I thought they eat more. He was always a big eater (his size would make you think otherwise lol). He ate baby food for each meal. I started giving him bites of egg and he loved it. But now he all of a sudden hates them. Refuses to eat any breakfast. Will eat a couple bites for lunch but still doesn't want it. He drinks his bottle at nap time and eats dinner. I haven't seen any teeth. But who's to say none are coming in. I don't know what it is.

My bestfriend recently went through this with he 8month old. He stopped eating after being sick. The Pediatrician had her do more liquid food. She used Formula with rice cereal in it. He drank that and after a week or so he was back to normal.
